AI will sell you an eye patch you can wear over your dominant left eye so you can be a right handed shooter.
Shouldn’t the small holes be shaped like penis’s?
The final production version will have penis shaped texture with no holes, solid opaque in AI red with a white AI logo in the middle of the erect penises.
Wearing one will increase scores 10% and is also good for at least another 75fps.
Also $900 is the introductory price, it will be higher after the initial launch.
Back on topic; another outing with my new AT-X and the rifle continues to impress. My brother shot the best group of his life with it today. Then we headed over to the “long range” portion of the local range and zapped steel out to 523 yards verifying come ups before we ran out of the Berger 144gr OTM hybrids I usually shoot. So just out of curiosity we grabbed a box of Federal 130gr something or other hunting load he brought along, and proceeded to not make any dope changes and still hit the plate at 523 yards to basically the same point of impact. Rather than waste his ammo further we called it a day and didn’t push out to the 600, 700, 800, and 845.
This is one of a handful of rifles I have ever encountered that doesn’t seem to care what goes down the pipe: the ammo will group well and it will shoot to basically the same POA=POI at 100 or 200 yards. I wasn’t expecting it to do that at 500 yards, but here we are.
We shot up about 100 rounds today just fucking around having a good time. No malfunctions of any kind were encountered. Fortunately the barrel on my example continues to not build up much copper fouling so cleanup was pretty straightforward.

Jon at Weichel coatings in Ft. Myers Florida knocked this out of the park!
Out breaking in a 6.5 PRC barrel today. Accurate 300 WSM mags feed perfect, stock and with an A419 extension.
Yea. That's probably the largest that will fit with the nvg rail attached. 1.25 will fit without the nvg rail.
Yes.
This is the way.
Bonus points for getting the best color chassis.
Does anyone have any pictures of the AT-X barrel profile compared to the old style AX Palma contour?
Was the AT-X chassis a take off from a complete rifle or can you buy the bare chassis now?
Fixing to order a 6cm barrel. Likely proof carbon
Is bartelin wintac same as what comes on the rifles?
Is bartelin wintac same as what comes on the rifles?
Yes, from what I have read Wintac Bartlein is the factory barrel.
I took my barrel off and it’s a 5R 24” Wintac marked which should be a Bartlein.

According to Proof their carbon barrel with an M27 threaded shank is 3lbs 4oz, the same barrel from them in steel is 4lbs 12oz. Both for a 6 Creemoor.

The Proof steel barrel is probably marginally lighter than the factory Wintac barrel too. According to the schematic the 24” Proof is only .900” at the start of the muzzle thread shoulder.
The factory 24” Wintac AI competition contour barrel on my 6.5 measures about .985” at that same point, and it’s 2” shorter than the Wintac 6 Creedmoor AI barrel.
I'm also interested in buying one (LVG bag rider), but I haven't seen it available on their website

Just picked up an ATX recently and I'm curious if other people had as "sparse" packaging as I did. It was just a cardboard box with foam padding, the rifle, bolt, and magazine. I found it odd there was no user manual included.
I'm coming from a JP background where they give a ton of other accoutrements when purchasing their rifle.

What else did you want in there? There should’ve been the flash drive with the manual.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's how your rifle came. My AT was the same way.
First outing went well with the at-x. Broke in the proof barrel. Zeroed the mk5, which will likely be sold, I don’t know yet!
I just got my AT-X this week. Haven’t had a chance to zero it yet. I’m impressed with the chassis and how overbuilt/robust the whole action and systems feels. The trigger feels amazing too. I’ve always wanted an AI and couldn’t pass up the current sale pricing on these considering what used AT and AX’s typically sell for.
I waited too long and the 6.5CM in dark earth is out of stock. EO and MH are not sure if a shipment of them will come in while the sale is still going on.
I have commitment issues. Maybe I'll just grab the 6CM version...
